Multimedia Class

With the stress of signing up for college classes, I frantically was looking for a class that I wouldn't have to dread taking and would actually enjoy. I came across Multimedia: Image and Hypertext and liked what I read. I've always been interested in computers but would not categorize myself as "tech savvy." Being that I am an Advertising and Public Relations major, having skills such as Photoshop, Indesign, etc are essential to have. I worked for a marketing agency this summer in Dallas called RAPP and saw first hand how a lot of these programs were used for huge advertising campaigns. I was the "operations intern" so I did a lot more of event planning and account executive work, but I was always envious of the creative and copyright interns who were always coming up with amazing designs and playing around on photoshop,m while I was bored doing ROI's. With social media growing and the fact that more and more people are becoming reliant on technology, having just a basic knowledge of multimedia can put anyone one step ahead. I feel grateful to be taking this class and am excited to see what skills I will have obtained by the end of the semester.
